A striking two-bedroom cedar-clad mews house offering modern living and a private garden in the heart of Forest Hill. The open-plan ground floor benefits from engineered oak floors, underfloor heating and full-width bifold doors that create a strong connection between indoor living and the secluded garden with a mature London plane tree. The compact, well-equipped kitchen and a downstairs WC make the layout practical for daily life and entertaining.
Upstairs delivers two bright double bedrooms, an en suite to the principal bedroom with balcony access, plus a double-height multi-use space currently used as a yoga studio. This flexible upper level would suit a home office, studio or music room and adds significant adaptability for changing needs. At 1,002 sq ft, the house feels larger than typical two-bedroom properties thanks to its clever vertical design and abundant glazing.
Transport and local amenities are genuine strengths: Forest Hill Station is about a five-minute walk, with frequent Overground and Southern services into central London. Independent cafés, restaurants, pubs and the Horniman Museum are all close by, offering a lively neighbourhood vibe. The property is freehold and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—good for remote working.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: council tax sits in Band F and is expensive, and the area records high crime levels. There is a single main bathroom plus an ensuite and a ground-floor WC, which may feel limited for some households. Overall, the house suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a modern, well-connected property with outdoor space and adaptable living areas, provided they accept the higher local tax and local crime statistics.
